Buddy
is our handsome Parrotlet. I never thought I would become so
attached to "a bird." We bought Buddy from a breeder at four months old so
he was already tame and well socialized. He makes our family laugh every
day and I'm so amazed how smart this little guy is, after all he is a
Parrot. We love Buddy so much and I couldn't imagine life without him.
Buddy loves to come out of his cage and be with "The Flock" (me,my
husband and our daughters.) He loves having his head scratched and will
turn his head towards your fingers so you get "just the right spot'.
Buddy can give kisses and makes the kiss sound at the same time, he will
laugh when I laugh and we're teaching him to dance. The girls really get
him going making funny sounds and he chirps a mile a minute as he runs
after them its so cute.

Buddy loves to join us in the morning for breakfast but his rule is
Buddy must sample everybody else's breakfast too. He starts off
our day right, that's for sure. Buddy also loves his cage and toys.
Whenever he does something funny or acrobatic in his cage we all laugh
and make a big deal out of it. Well, Buddy remembers the reaction from
us so does his little tricks again and again and again. Buddy will also
snuggle close to your face and lay down with you. Don't ever think birds
don't cuddle. Buddy is bringing us so much joy and love.
